I took some footage of the early rains the night before here. On the day itself, I managed to take some footage of the effects of the Typhoon, as well as photos of the devastation afterwards. The power was knocked out for several days. Which wasn't too bad because it was a great opportunity to just hunker down and draw ELMER. And I managed to do much more work because of it!
